Two stories have loomed large in the political discourse over the last couple of weeks- the ongoing anti-Semitism drama within the Labour Party and the officially sanctioned persecution of South African whites. At first glance the two stories do not seem to have much in common but both stories centre around the grievances, whether real or perceived, by two minority ethnic groups. The problem the left have is that they want to speak up for the rights of oppressed Palestinians but may not describe those oppressors as ''Jews''. So in order to get over the hurdle they deploy the term ''Zionist''. According to Jeremy Corbyn:

“I am now more careful with how I might use the term ‘Zionist’ because a once self-identifying political term has been increasingly hijacked by antisemites as code for Jews.”

So the British left are coming to understand that they can't use the term ''Zionist'' either because now even their euphemism is anti-semitic. The problem is that every time the Corbynistas used the term ''Zionist'' every Jew in the media and politics erupted in fury and the mass media hit the panic button and deluged the British left with their victim status for weeks on end.

I've recently been exploring the deconstruction of the new Star Wars films, particularly ''The Last Jedi''. However, rather than regurgitate what has been said before, and absolutely everything about the awful Last Jedi which can be said has been said, I decided instead to simply rewrite the script from a new and interesting perspective. After all, in an age when politics dominates the creating and destroying of pop culture myths, it seems to me that rather than endlessly critique Social Justice and feminist tropes, we can instead re-imagine these films, or any other work of pop culture, in our own image......

A story has been circulating around the conservative blog/Breitbart scene of two American middle class whites who chucked their cushy jobs and began a cycle trip through Africa and the Muslim world. Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, both 29, set of on their big adventure and updated a blog as they went.According to Jay at his blog:

“You read the papers and you’re led to believe that the world is a big, scary place,”

“People, the narrative goes, are not to be trusted. People are bad. People are evil.”“I don’t buy it,” he continued. “Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve invented to deal with the complexities of fellow humans holding values and beliefs and perspectives different than our own… By and large, humans are kind. Self-interested sometimes, myopic sometimes, but kind. Generous and wonderful and kind.''

The discussion of ''Free Speech'' has once again become the dominant subject on the political internet. I've spent the week consuming an inordinate amount of online ''content'' looking at the arguments and strategies from both the right and the left. The Left side of the equation isn't particularly interesting, it's simply an endless chant of ''Shut it down'' or justifications for censorship by arguing that Zio-Tech can ban whoever they like, whenever they like. Everything they dislike is Hate, and Hate must be censored, so whatever they don't like must be censored, and so on. People on the Right, broadly speaking, twist themselves into contortions as they're silenced. On the one hand they want to cast the money lenders and degenerates into the hellfire, but at the same time they, we, are in the weaker position so there's a constant virtue signal toward liberal universalism and ideals of free speech and democracy. It is perfectly understandable to appeal to free speech ideals when you are the one being silenced. However, and it has to be said, people on the Right are doing so out of pragmatism and strategic necessity, not because they hold these concepts as core values. The Judaic Left, meanwhile, have reached the point where they believe the overarching Liberalism which infests Western Civilization is actually a hindrance, that they too have to pay a reluctant lip-service to a set of ideals which they secretly despise and seek to subvert and weaken at every opportunity.

Why am I not ecstatic at Tommy Robinson's release from jail? I've never doubted Tommy's bravery and I think he's done wonders for highlighting the ''Grooming'' epidemic in British towns with a Muslim population. I think he overdoes the Islamic text routine but so does everybody who thinks the Counter Jihad is the cutting edge of anti-mass immigration activism.
